| - Okay I have to be the person that does not rave bout this place. Everything that everyone states is true, but there are a few negatives that could use some improvement.
PROS: -SOUNDPROOF everything. Threw a massive party Thursday night and Saturday night with the room PACKED and the music blasting, and once you walked into the hallway and closed the door, you heard nothing. They really have their act together knowing that people are gonna party it up. They were very nice to all of our rowdy wedding guests as well-we behaved but it was loud.
I got married the weekend I stayed there, and they really took care of EVERYTHING for me, picking up photos, delivering favors and transferring gifts from the reception-it saved us such a headache. Those butlers are at your disposal for anything and everything.
-The showers and sauna are AMAZING and were my own personal rehab every morning.
-Eating at the mansion-amazing.Definitely go have a breakfast in the Garden. I love that the menu is in mostly Chinese with no prices listed(it wasn't bad at about $50 pp)
CONS: Why is there no separate pool? On Friday, I went to the MGM pool, half of it was closed for weather(not their fault obv) and there was not a waitress in sight. So I'm in Vegas, dropping a fortune for a room, wedding,dining, gambling, etc-but I can't have a cute girl bring me a drink??? I even called and complained, if you're staying in Skylofts, you should get VIP pool treatments-but whoever I spoke to didn't really care. Sad way to run a hotel in Vegas during the summer. Really not thrilled with MGM this time around.
HUGE CON for me: two floors in Skyloft with marble stairs. My knees were dying. And i'm young- it was just too much walking on hard floors. The technology was more annoying than anything-there's one tablet to run the whole room and television, but it needs to be charged on the base. So it was ten minutes trying to lower the television. I like fancy nonsense as much as anyone, and Aria has some cool options-but they were really more annoying than useful.
Another friend of ours stayed in the Skyloft next door, and had the exact same room- art, statues and everything. It was pretty nonsensical-you can't get different paintings and weird cow figures? And i'm the kind of person that gets weirded out by pretentious concierge conversations. You def get the feeling that someone's being paid to like you.
BOTTOM LINE: You can drop the same amount and stay in much nicer places, especially in Vegas. Avoid MGM and it's long walks to the ghetto pool. And get some hot sky loft girls to bring guests drinks.
